Highly precise, robust and rapid-working encoders

High-precision fast measuring systems with magnetic encoders enable precise positioning in extremely dynamic applications.

Their robust construction allows their use in extreme environments.

The most important benefits

  • Contact-free and therefore wear-free
  • Incremental or absolute interfaces
  • High resolution to 1µm
  • Measurement lengths of up to 48 m
  • Flexible installation
  • Long service life

Product families

  • Absolute linear magnetic encoder system

    Dynamic and precise positioning with high level of reproducibility

    Product finder

    The BML absolute linear magnetic encoder systems from Balluff ensure absolute positional feedback in every position. They can be used immediately – no reference run needed. Continues working right after a loss of operating voltage or restarting the system.
